]]>In this fully illustrated one hour PowerPoint presentation, Michael Schratt will provide specifics regarding Dr. Dan Burisch’s alleged interaction with an extraterrestrial known as “J-Rod.” This historically significant account of human/ET contact allegedly took place at the super-secret S4 facility located 12 miles south of Area 51. A fully illustrated floor-by-floor breakdown of the facility will be highlighted, covering what was contained in each of the nine hangar bays on level one. Also included are detailed drawings of the flight simulator on level 1B, along with a very accurate schematic layout of the cafeteria, file department, communications, and transportation logistics to the facility. Dan and Marcia Burisch will be present after Michael’s talk to answer questions.

Michael Schratt (military aerospace historian) has lectured across the country on the subject of “Mystery Aircraft” and classified propulsion systems buried deep within the military industrial complex. A guest speaker at the “OSHKOSH” AirVenture 2006/2007 event, (the world’s largest air show), Michael has developed a number of contacts who have had firsthand experience dealing with classified black programs, including former U.S. Air Force pilots, retired Naval personnel and aerospace engineers who have maintained a TOP SECRET Q “MAJIC” clearance. A private pilot and military aerospace historian, he currently works as an aerospace draftsman/researcher.

]]>Recently declassified records from the United States Air Force’s Aeronautical Systems Division reveal plans from the 1950s to develop a flying saucer. The National Archives recently published the details of this project called Project 1794.

Wired.com explains that, had the craft been completed, it would have been able to “spin through the Earth’s stratosphere at an average top speed of about 2,600 miles per hour.” The specs show the craft was designed to be a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) plane, “using propulsion jets to control and stabilize the aircraft.”

The documents reveal that the air force had contracted with the now-defunct Canadian company, Avro Aircraft Limited in Ontario, to construct the flying saucer.

Many UFO researchers have known for years about the air force’s flying saucer projects. Aerospace historian Michael Schratt published an article on this website in 2010 about an air force flying disc project. So the recently declassified information regarding Project 1794 isn’t much of a surprise. But it is still interesting to see the official details published and available to the public.

September 7, 1820 France, Embrun – During a Lunar Eclipse, Francois Arago (astronomer/ mathematician and director of the Paris observatory) saw a group of “flying ovals” cross the darkened moon’s face. The objects were luminous, and moving at great speed. Francois Arago wrote of this date in the ‘Annales de chimie et de physique’: “Numerous observers have seen, during an eclipse of the moon, strange objects moving in straight lines. They were equally spaced and remained in line when they made turns. Their movements made a military precision.” Source: Otto Binder reports. (Authenticated by Jacques Vallee)

In 1877, bright dots/lights were observed converging on the crater Plato. In addition, two steaks of medium intensity light were recorded on June 14, 1940, in the crater Plato, a location where reports of lights have numbered in the thousands. Source: Otto Binder Reports/Jim Marrs Alien Agenda

Dr. Frank Halstead, (curator of the Darling Observatory in Duluth, Minnesota) described an object he and his assistant observed through a telescope on July 6, 1954. It looked like a “straight black line” on the floor of the crater Piccolomini, where no such line had been noted before. It has not been seen since. Halstead later stated that “many professional astronomers are convinced that saucers are interplanetary machines.” Source – Timothy Good Alien Base
